Sister chromatid exchanges induced by perturbed replication are formed independently of homologous recombination factors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are products of joint DNA molecule resolution, and are considered to form through homologous recombination (HR). Indeed, upon generation of irradiation-induced DNA breaks, SCE induction was compromised in cells deficient for canonical HR factors BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51. Contrarily, replication-blocking agents, including PARP inhibitors, induced SCEs independently of BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51. PARP inhibitor-induced SCEs were enriched at common fragile sites (CFSs), and were accompanied by post-replicative single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps. Moreover, PARP inhibitor-induced replication lesions were transmitted into mitosis, suggesting that SCEs originate from mitotic processing of under-replicated DNA. We found that DNA polymerase theta (POLQ) was recruited to mitotic DNA lesions, and loss of POLQ resulted in reduced SCE numbers and severe chromosome fragmentation upon PARP inhibition in HR-deficient cells. Combined, our data show that PARP inhibition generates under-replicated DNA, which is transferred into mitosis and processed into SCEs, independently of canonical HR factors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
